Hello, I’m Makayla.

I’m glad to have you here. My approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, and unwavering support for my clients. I create a safe space where individuals freely express themselves and explore their emotions without fear of criticism or shame. I am an anti-racist, anti-sexist, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.

In my practice, I often work with clients who are seeking to heal from trauma and have faced profound challenges in feeling validated, understood, or heard within systems and relationships.

I offer a sanctuary where you unravel your stories without judgment. Together, we navigate the complexities of your trauma, untangling the knots of self-doubt and insecurity.

I empower my clients to discover their own inner strengths and resilience. Together, we navigate the complexities of their emotions and challenges, fostering growth, self-awareness, and ultimately, transformation.

 FAQs

  • I charge $200 for a one-hour session of individual and $220 for couples or family therapy. 

    You may inquire if any sliding scale spots are currently available if needed.

  • No, I do not accept insurance, I am considered an out of network provider. I can, however, provide clients with a Superbill that they can submit to their insurance for reimbursement. It is not guaranteed if or how much an insurance company will reimburse; I always encourage potential clients to contact their insurance company before starting therapy with an out of network provider so they have a clear expectation around the financial requirement.

  • Changes to appointments must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Cancelling or rescheduling with less than 24 hours notice, or not showing to an appointment, will incur a fee equivalent to the full session rate.

  • All sessions are 50 minutes, unless determined otherwise during the initial appointment.
